MENACE TO VETERANS.
Yellow Fever In the Hampton
Soldiers' Home.
Sevan Death Bava Already Oceured la
Total of Thlrty-Seren Cae Every
Effort Being Taken to Control tha Iread
Diiease A Strict Quarantine Has Heen
Established.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1. The last
official advices received show a total of
47 cases and seven deaths from yellow
fever at the Soldiers' home at Hamp
ton, Va. Thus far the disease has been
confined to the home, but all surround
ing towns are excited and a vigorous
quarantine is being maintained. Dr.
Wasdin, of the Marine hospital ser
vice, is in charge of affairs at Hamp
ton and has strengthened the cordon
about the town of Phoebus, which he
reports is In very bad sanitary condi
tion. The, fact that only one new
case appeared during the past 24 hours
is encouraging to the officials here,
who are taking every measure to pre
vent a spread of the disease.
Dr. Wasdln'a offlclul report of his
examination of existing conditions at
the Soldiers' home sums up the history
of the contagion as follows:
Early In July an old soldier entered
the home for a short rest and soon af
terward appeared at the dispensary
where he Informed the physicians in
charge that he was but recently from
Santiago, via a transport to a northern
port; thence he strated for Manila via
San Francisco; beat his way to the
home on a freight train and entered
with his baggage, He complained of
dumb chills and fever and was pre
scribed for. He mingled freely with the
inmates of the home and a short time
ago disappeared.
From this as a possible cause, the
outbreak Is as follows: Preceding Fri
day, the 21st, there had been noticed
nothing of a auspicious nature. The
weekly death rate was as usual. But
on the 21st and 22d there became 111
during the night , with sharp or less
chill, high rever, some eight or ten in
mates, men of usually good health.
These sclsures although noted as pecu
liar had occasioned no alarm until
about Thursday, the 27th, when a
death occurred, the man becoming dis
tinctly yellow some time prior to death.
On about the same day another one
died without having attracted particu
lar attention; he also turned quite yel
low. Autopsies were held on both by a
resident pathologist.
It was then or a little later that the
telegram was sent you asking for an
expert. It found there were 3.500 Im-
mates and that 35 has been taken ill
since the 21st. '
Dr. Wasdin says he withheld a posi
tive diagnosis In his first communica
tion because of the assertions of Sur
geon Vlckery at the home that there
had been no communication of the In
mates with the Cuban soldiers returned
since last May or early in June. With
the discovery of ihe probable origin of
the infection and the two autopsies
later there can be no doubt he says
about the disease being yellow fever.
Dr. Wasdin, Assistant Surgeon Von
Ezedorf from New Orleans to Hamp
ton, Passed Assistant Surgeon Smith,
who Is on leave has been directed to re
turn to Norfolk. Surgeon Magruder
has been ordered from Memphis. Both
of these have had large experfnee in
quarantined quarters. Surgeon Pettus,
In charge of the Cape Charles quaran
tine, has been ordered to assign his
assistants. Surgeon McCllntlc to tem
porary charge and to remain on duty
himself at Old Point.
Trying lo Ktamp Out Yellow Fever.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1. Surgeon
General Wyman of the Marine hospi
tal service had a conference with Sec
retary Gage on the yellow fever sit
uation at Hampton, Va. The secretary
agreed with Dr. Wyman that every
possible precaution should be taken to
prevent the spread of the disease. A
cordon will be thrown around the af
fected district, and a thorough quaran
tine established.

The police allege that Dotz in Wheel
ing, W. Va., under the name of Henry

KLONDIKE STORIES.
Soma of the Uarrtlilps Endured by Re
turned O'attlrmrn.
VICTORIA, B. C, July 28. H. Y.
Jones, the only man who made a finan
cial success crossing Edmonton trail,
is In the city. Jones started from Swift
Current, N. W. T., on April 9, 1898, tak
Ing with him a band of 75 beef cattlt
and four assistants, one of whom, Joe
Butler, will never return. He wa
drowned while going down I.lz.rl rivei
In a small boat, being caught In Cran
berry rapids before he and his partner
could divert disaster. The two . men
lumped for their lives, while only on?
managed to reach footing. Butlei
failed and the next ins. ant was in the
rushing waters.
The loss of one man, however, was
the only mishap which Jones experi
enced, everyone of the cattle lived
throughout all hardship and naturally
sold well. Twenty-six were sold at
Graham, and the others at a Hudson
bay post a . out 90 miles south of Fran
els lake. The cattlo subsisted on moss,
bushes and withered weeds.
July last year Jones says a party of
20 were lost on Great Sluve lake. Sev
eral of their bodies have Iwn found
near Sylvester landing, but mote than
this of this disaster Jones does not re
member. At about the same time Han is broth
ers of Seattle lost all but four of a
band of 40 cattle.
A larger herd belonging to Lalng &
Mansell of California were lost at Dun
vegan on Peace river, only six being
saved. Manzell came out to the coast
with Jones, but Lalng never lived to
complete the Journey.
Such Instances were many and other
stories of men losing their reason are
told by the new arrivals.
Mr. Jones denies the statement that
gold is to be found in paying quantities
on the Mud river, also says that the
Indians dying out of the tilbs; at Mud
river huving dwindled down to five.

SANTO DOMINGO REVOLUTION.
An Outbreak I Only a Matter of a Few
Iay In That Republic.
KINGSTON, Jamaica, July 31. A
private cable dispatch received here by
way of Cape Haytien reports that the
revolution In Santo Domingo Is pro
gressing favorably. The dispatch says
that the real reason for the detention
of President Heureaux'a body at San
tiago and its Interment there was that
the country between Santiago and Puer
to Plata is occupied by the Insurgents,
who, abandoning their plan of occupy
ing Moca as a base of operations, and
concentrating to attack Puerto Plata,
which Is feebly garrisoned. Great ex
citement prevails owing to the fact that
the government has not been able to
ascertain the extent of the ramifica
tions of the(revolution and Is growing
demoralized through the death of the
president.
In tHe event of the revolution suc
ceeding, still according to the. private
cablegram, It is probable that Jim
Inez and Jitonez, the reputed leaders of
the revolution, will agree to retire, offer
ing the presidency to General Maximo
Gomez, who would prove acceptable
to all parties. A deputation. It is re
ported, is going to Cuba to confer with
Gomez. .
